I will be going to the most local participant to buy myself a Pink Vinyl copy of Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play", a 12" Picture Disc of Marillion's "Grendel" and a 7" EP of Jethro Tull's "Living In The Past".

It would've been nice to also buy a Vulcan Shaped Picture Disc of Knock Out Kaine's "Set The Night On Fire".

However, the planned CD Single will suit me fine, especially if it has the video included as a multimedia section.

For those who knock dinosaurs like myself that prefer to buy CDs, take note!

When you buy legal downloads from iTunes, you do not get the full quality you get from a CD!!!

You are paying almost full price for an inferior product!

Also, you can't take a download along to a gig to get the band to sign it!!!

However, as all the proceeds are going to our lady, I shall be doing my bit and downloading the single.

It's just I'd also like a nice CD to blast through my Mission Speakers which are powered by a Technics Amplifier that has a sound that's smoother than a nice Cask Conditioned Pint on a hot summer afternoon!!!

Don't worry Rob I was told I'm living in the dark ages the other day because I don't use catch up TV, lol - Why would I want too when my BB speed is not consistent enough and when I have a pvr to record what I want.

Not just iTunes.....any download that uses the more common types of files such as .MP3These normally tend to have a bit-rate of about 320kbit/s ..... compare that to a proper CD , which is between 1200-1500kbit/s , 4-5 times higher !!

On the subject of download quality, I listened to an interesting interview with Roger Taylor (of Queen) recently. He was bemoaning the production quality of some 'modern' music, which he considers inferior to the pre-download era, as so many of the subtle nuances of production are lost in the compression process that many producers are no longer bothering with the attention to detail needed for vinyl / CD release.

In addition, people are incresingly listening using portable devices, meaning they never encounter the full fidelity of the original performance / recording. RT's view was that very few younger people are using separates systems these days that reproduce the sound quality and depth intended by the artist, which is a crying shame...
